Before you enrol This course teaches mindfulness skills for managing eating disorder urges. It is a self-help education course, not treatment, and it isn’t tailored to you. It works best alongside support from a GP, psychologist or eating disorder team. If you have anorexia nervosa, have lost weight quickly, or are restricting or purging, please see your GP for a medical check before starting. Eating disorders can affect physical health in ways you can’t always feel. If you need support now, call the Butterfly Foundation Helpline on 1800 33 4673 or Lifeline on 13 11 14. In an emergency, call 000.

• Identifying urges: common urges related to eating problems, and mindfulness techniques for responding to them.
• Mindfulness in daily life: ways to bring present-moment awareness into everyday routines.
